Charm Yoga vs It's Simple

This app is designed to liberate you on and off the mat. From powerful vinyasa flows to quiet yin classes, Practice Love will meet you where you are in the moment. Audra weaves the esoteric teachings of yoga and mindfulness seamlessly with the personal, inspiring students to take the two wings of practice-- wisdom and compassion--into the simple moments that make up the content of their daily lives. She will guide toward your innate wisdom, tuning you inward through movement, meditation, and contemplative practices that honor your personal experience and preferences. There is no one answer, no right or wrong, no shoulds or shouldnts, only what's here, in the moment, and how we choose to meet it. No one knows you better than yourself.

A dedicated practitioner and student of both Yoga and Buddhism, Audra brings delight, humor, compassion, levity, love, and a multi-faith perspective to her classes.

It is through humor, lightness, and not taking herself so seriously that she continues to to disentangle herself from spiritual materialism, the white supremacist hierarchy, the patriarchy, and the spiritual bypassing that is so prevalent in the wellness world. Pre-Pandemic, Audra owned and operated a chain of highly successful yoga studios in Portland, Oregon--Love Hive Yoga, and Free Love Yoga. Currently, she continues to teach in person at The People's Yoga, and offers online classes with Free Love Yoga, her own baby company.

Through this training she has connected deeply with the work of Sebene selassie and Konda Mason. She is grateful to her longtime, and steadfast teachers Manorama, Christina Sell, and Jasmine Tarkeshi.

A daily threshold practice that helps you stop, look inward, and choose how you want to enter what's coming. It's Simple is built around two homes. The first home is where you arrive — and where you pause. Mokusō (黙想), in Japanese, means silent contemplation — the threshold practice a student sits in before training, the breath before the bow. A breathing meditator at the center. Three pills — Rise, Calm, Rest — for the energy you need right now. A warm anchor for your morning routine and your night routine, each one timed to reach your brain in theta, the open window just after waking and before sleep when the subconscious lets new patterns in. The second home is where you look inward. A constellation of feelings circles the meditator. On the warm side: what you're reaching for — Growth, Purpose, Freedom, Connection, Confidence. Tap the meditator and the constellation shifts to the harder side: what you're moving through — Fear, Sadness, Shame, Anger, Loneliness. Twelve paths, each one a complete practice: a short scientific insight, a morning meditation, an affirmation built around the chakra ascent, and a night reflection. Built around how the nervous system actually moves, not how it should. Inside the Library — seven surfaces, one shelf. — Paths — Walk one slowly when something specific is asking to be moved. — Affirmations spoken back to you in a steady voice. Pause-repeat-pause until belief lands in the body. — Meditations that calm the nervous system, release fear, build confidence, and help you sleep. — Insights — short audio lessons on the neuroscience behind every practice. Understand why it works and the resistance disappears. — Voices — record messages from the people who love you, or from a future version of yourself. Lock them and receive them days or weeks later, when the surprise hits harder than any text ever could. — Sounds — ambient layers for focus, calm, and deep sleep. — Vision — your goals and your achievements, side by side. Record what you're reaching for. Hear it every morning. Tap the trophy when you make it real and the goal becomes an achievement, ready to replay when doubt creeps back in. Inside every now-playing screen — save what you're listening to into Rise, Calm, Rest, or your morning or night routine. One tap. Builds your own quiet curriculum without ever opening Settings. Why it works. Your brain forms beliefs through repetition, emotion, and familiar voices. It doesn't distinguish between a vividly imagined experience and a real one. It treats your own voice as the highest authority. And it's most open to change in the minutes after waking and before sleep. It's Simple was designed around these principles. Start simple. Download. Record one message. Take one breath. The rest builds itself.
